Hello - I have been keeing on eye on this thread, it has been a lot of help. I need to buy a new monitor (size range above) mostly for B&W photo editing and moderate FPS gaming - the kid in me wont die.
I purchased a NEC 20wmgx2 - at first I was really happy, two days into using it I noticed purplr banding at the top (when viewed on a white screen), a couple burnt pixels, and when the contrast is set to factory default it buzzed very loud (I need the default setting for Spyder calibration). I contacted NEC, their response was brutal. B/c the monitor is discontinued they no longer had stock, they tried to replace it with a monitor that was worth $230. I told them the replacement should be of equal or greater value as per their warranty.
Long of the short - I had to negotiate w/ some director of customer service, I said the monitor must be between 19 - 22 inches, widescreen, and S - IPS panel, they told me the one they could offer was too big of a jump in price, and if I did not like their offering I did not have to buy their product - I returned it and caution anyone supporting NEC.
Now I am back on the hunt, I am considering the Samsung 215TW or a Dell 2007wfp. I would like an S-IPS panel (hard to come by w/ lotteries) for color reproduction, and the size between 20-22 widescreen.
Any insights would be helpful!!!!
